AI coding has fundamentally changed how software is written and improvements are real. Tools like Claude Code and Cursor speed up developer velocity and change how we approach software engineering, leading to better designs. However, as AI is writing more code than ever, testing and verification is the new bottleneck. Join Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Antithesis for a curated evening with engineers, development and infrastructure leaders exploring how teams can build resilient distributed systems while adopting faster, more autonomous software development workflows. Agenda: 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM: Arrival, check-in, food and networking 5:30 PM – 5:50 PM: Opening talk from AWS on resilient architecture and operating distributed systems on AWS 5:50 PM – 6:20 PM: Antithesis talk on agentic development, correctness, and pre-production validation 6:20 PM – 8:00 PM: Drinks & food, ping pong, and more As AI-assisted and agent-generated code accelerate the pace of change, correctness and resilience can no longer be left to conventional testing alone. These events will bring together practitioners to discuss how leading teams are approaching failure testing, distributed systems reliability, observability, and pre-production validation on AWS. Are you and your team stretched thin because you are dealing with more and larger PRs, and spend most of your time doing code reviews? Are your agents writing tests that mostly cover the obvious path, but fail to find the real bugs affecting your customers? Are you and your team still hunting for subtle, hard-to-find bugs despite the use of AI? In these sessions, we will show a fundamentally different approach to solving the verification gap. If you are looking to increase your productivity and want a more rigorous approach to finding, reproducing, and fixing bugs that slip past conventional testing, we would love to have you join us. Space is limited. Please register soon!
